Window height 3 too small (after splitting)

Window height 3 too small (after splitting)

[Brian May]

Steps to reproduce this error (perhaps this is a problem with supercite,
not sure):

1. Display message that that has a bbdb entry for the sender. This
will create a new window down the bottom of the screen with the bbdb entry.

2. Process mark multiple messages to reply to.

3. push R for Reply.

4. Supercite will prompt for attribute name, for first message, as normal.

5. error appears.

The key issues seem to be step 1 and step 2, if either is ommited,
everything works.

`(setq debug-on-error t)', repeat the bug and mail me the resulting
backtrace.

Hope this helps...

Normally, when replying, the window is resized, but I am not
sure if this occurs before or after this error.

I suspect this section of my config file may also
be relevant (copied from somewhere, perhaps the Info doc):

     (setq gnus-use-trees t
           gnus-generate-tree-function 'gnus-generate-horizontal-tree
           gnus-tree-minimize-window nil)
     (gnus-add-configuration

                  (horizontal 0.25
                              (summary 0.75 point)
                              (tree 1.0))
                  (article 1.0))))



PS, when sending this message, I got the following warning:

Warning: Your message contains 5 parts.  Really send? (y or n)  

5 parts??? That was before I had any MIME attachments.

I said n

then I got the message

Edit your message to use only one charset

So, I will attach another copy of that buffer, in case the first
one doesn't work:

So this seems like a bbdb-related bug.

The binary junk in the backtrace made XEmacs think that there was lots
of weird characters there.  Hm.

I was more inclined to think it was supercite, AFAIK bbdb shouldn't be
doing anything at the time. While supercite has a feature to use bbdb
for citations, I haven't yet worked out how to enable it.

Of course, I might be totally lost.

Not only that, but my attachment at the bottom of the message
was truncated (and subsequent text).

I thought this might happen, it didn't show up in preview mode,
either.

No, it's definitely bbdb that triggers the bug.
